New Colony 6 "Things I'd Like To Say" My Extended Version!

[@wallacegeller2111]

Great song, popular toward the end of my tour in Vietnam. USMC. Coming home was one of the happiest days of my life. I'm almost 72 now.

[@wallacegeller2111]

I'm 76 now. Years going by. My 9 grandkids are all growing up. Still a great New Colony 6 tune.

[@bobvogel2412]

I was born in '53 on the west side of Chicago. This is my favorite NC6 song from my favorite Chicago band. But take nothing away from the Buckinghams, Cryin' shames, Ides of March, American Breed and a bit later Chicago themselves. And listening to this on a small transistor radio from 'LS and 'CFL. I wanna go back in time. The sooner the better. Take meeeee......

[@buts206]

Was there a band from around Chi called The Robbs?? I saw them when I was stationed at Great Lakes...Looked like the Byrds on stage..

[@janetnoble2910]

Hearing this just now made me start crying. Crying for remembering my young free life that I was experiencing when this song first came out. One of the best times in my life❤❤❤.

[@marilynfisher]

I’m 63 and sometimes I get melancholy listening to the old songs,,,,,

[@johnnycool1744]

Just heard this song for the first time in probably 55 years. Yesterday, Feb 20 was my 68th birthday. What a beautiful song. I'm a solid Thin Lizzy supporter now. Love what brought me to music so much. Songs like this. Strings are brilliant. Thank God for KZbin....🌻🏀

[@Thadmotor1044]

A fine band from Chicago . love lasts forever proven by this song

[@rofe4261]

In 2016, on Mothers Day I lost my other half to brain cancer, amidst searching for comfort I ran into this song, awesome to say the least! This song makes each passing day / year a special time, a appreciative time for me for what I and others have that they may take for granted... Be Happy for what you have! Its all about LIFE, not money:) Grrrr

Memories...... 1969..... Sophomore year at Ware High School; Ware, Massachusetts... Damn... Why does time fly by so damn fast?

[@bobcarlino7280]

1969 was my sophomore year as well (at Awalt High School in Mountain View, California)...and you're right; why does time fly by so damn quickly??!!

[@Benkerosadon7890]

Mr. Geller, thank you for your service. When I was fortunate to make it back from the Guy War, we received a hero's welcome. You and your fellow soldiers did not. I'm sorry for this. However, you and I made it back home and we can thank God for this.

[@wallacegeller2111]

I'm glad you made it home. In Vietnam sometimes I felt so far away. I made it home. 9 grandchildren and married 40 years. God Bless.

[@Kimby62]

Chills still after all these years... man, the memories slay me!

[@dennisowen4410]

One of the best songs towards the end of the 60's. Brings back memories of that time in my life. Vietnam was the next chapter in my life. I was one of the lucky ones to come home in one piece

[@Benkerosadon7890]

Amen. I felt the same way when I came home from the Gulf War. I thank God for this everyday especially when I see my wife and children. Yes, I was one of the "lucky ones to make it back" as well.

This is one of the most beautiful, heartfelt, memorable songs I've ever heard. It is packed with such emotion and I'm sure all of us can relate to a forever love that never fulfilled its beautiful promise.

[@LLcoolDel]

I agree with you.

[@bobcarlino7280]

Beautifully said!

[@michaelmcdonald5326]

This song puts me back in junior high school in Buffalo New York. But it really brings back memories of my older brothers and cousins shipping off to Vietnam. I didn’t understand why so many mothers and fathers were afraid of the mailman or western union.. A year later it all became very clear. Thank you all for your service!🇺🇸

Brilliant song!!! Thats all I can say. Brings me back to my youth and the girl at the swim club in 1969.

[@carollee535]

After decades, listening to this song again is very moving. Beautiful song! This made my day - thanks!

[@theearl1477]

This is the best version of "Things I'd Like To Say" I've ever listened to. Every time I listen to this song I flash back to my junior year in high school and remember what I was doing when I heard it on the radio. As I get older I still remember what I was doing then. Thanks mosogotam!

[@mwmann]

Life is short. Peppered here and there with sorrow and joy, boredom and excitement, sudden epiphanies, harsh realities, words of wisdom, words of pain and out of nowhere music that brings forgotten memories and hopeful dreams altogether.

[@rael5469]

The glorious victories. The glorious failures.

[@johnaddeo2251]

One of the things I'd like to have said was, I always thought this song was too short. Thanks for fixing that.

I came home and this song was on repeat. Little did I know you had left. And on our bed was a note. Like a knife thru the heart your words still echo forever in my mind. Even 20 years later. It's almost impossible to listen to this beautiful song now.

You saw them somewhat recently? Any of the original members?

So proud of The New Colony Six ...... they were from my high school.

[@davidjenson1570]

Interesting that I've been listening to the oldies most of my life and have just discovered this song recently. It's a great song, and they should have been playing it on the radio long ago and regularly.

[@RICHASASA]

Thanks, I really enjoyed your version of this song. I remember decades ago when I would visit Tower Records and other record stores searching for this song on a 45 RPM. This song as well as "Never Be Lonely" and "Long Time To Be Alone" by the New Colony Six were songs that I wanted (to make mix tapes, remember those!). I have them now, thanks to Napster back in the day. Brought back some great memories, Aloha.

[@TopJimmyWinn]

Really like that piano piece at the end, wish it was longer

[@HRHolm-bi6zu]

One of the best almost-forgotten 'sleeper' oldies. So exemplary of its era. Good to find this extended version.

This is MUCH better than the original radio version! The original version was way too short...this solved that issue.

This is such a beautiful song. I loved them then and now. It was in a simpler time when I was young and young people really did fall in love and get married. Young men took you skating and Drive In Movies and paid for the dates. I’m not saying it was perfect but it really was a great time and I would go back in a New York Minute.

I remember when they came to Grand Haven, Mi. alodda years ago; some of the crowd at the "Beach Bash", held at the Grand Haven Roller Rink would walk around in a big circle on the perimeter of the rink. The Six were on a stage in the N.E. corner of the rink,and they commanded a large portion of the kids there those two times I made it a point to attend those two Saturday nights. I talked to the lead singer at both breaks,and he was astonished by the people walking the circle. We talked at length about a lot of stuff, and it was great. This song was my second-favorite behind "I Will Always Think About You". Still is. Man, the memories come flooding back. God, they were good!
